who use it cannot avoid. The foremost
men among cricketera, oarsmen, athletes,

players condemn tobacco rs nninEOniHiio 10

against tobacco
/. Because it Is unnatural. Il is an nc

frat rehels.
2, Because IL iS expensive. In Great
Britain about sl6ooO,oOo are spent an

3. Because it is dirty. The constant
expectoration by the user ui tubncco is not
among the things that are pure, lovely and
of good report.
